    Not sure what you're asking.

    The 11/12 speed sram shifters moves the cable with the exact same distance, yes.

    The derailleurs move depending on the above. If you're using a 12 speed shifter then it can move to the 12th cog on your cassette, if it's an 11 speed shifter then it can only move to the 11th cog on cassette.

    You can use an 11 speed shifter with a 12 speed derailleur and vice versa.

    The 12 speed derailleur has a longer cage to better accommodate the 50t cog at the back but you can still get an 11 speed sram rear derailleur onto the 12th cog if you use a 12 speed sram shifter for it.

    Sorry not true.  Put a 11sp and 12 sp cassette on a flat table and compare the height, it is the same, hence you need "smaller" shifts for 12sp.

    So is this only applicable to SRAM? I have a 12 spd SLX groupset. If the shifting between 11 and 12spd is the same, can I use an 11spd 105 cassette on the trainer, with my 12spd SLX shifter and derailleur? 

    The short answer is no.  The total travel for 11 vs 12 is the same but the increment is smaller on 12 to get to 12 shifts in the same travel overall.

    Are you saying the "SHIFTER" has the same distance "per shift" ?

     

    Is the difference in DERAILURE MOVEMENT resolved at the derailure ?

    Apparently the derailleur magically know to shift little bit more or little bit less as soon as you fit a 11 or 12 speed shifter...

    ???? ????

  4. The total gear spacing (depth of the gears combination) are the same for both, hence you need a smaller shift distance for 12 than for 11.  Shimano XTR shifter have a selection toggle between 11 and 12 speed, so you can use it for either.  If the 12sp SRAM shifter also have this yes, otherwise no, it will not shift properly.

    There is a history that you might not be aware of.

    I certainly do not condone any pushing of any ranger to the ground or throwing stones at them. 

    I cannot imagine any rider actually doing that either if it was a cyclist at all as apparently SANParks did not mention that it was a cyclist it could have been a hiker or other and the "other" could refer to some dubious characters that frequent that area. That is why I said I would like to know what really happened as some embellishment could also be in the offing.

    "Grow up" in deed - read my words as they stand and don't add your own interpretation please.

    I did read the history as mentioned in this and other posts, and are "to a certain extent" aware of the issues at hand. 

    It only happened randomly that I chose to responded to your message, actually in agreement to what your were saying, so now I'm the one that's confused by your reaction.

    Yes obviously I would also like to know the full story from ALL sides, BUT, if true, any physical acts/reaction by ANYONE for that matter, can not be condoned, and that was what I specifically referred to.

    .

    According to a SANPaks spokesperson on the radio this morning SANParks rangers are being abused on a regular basis on the mountain by cyclists.

    This is unacceptable behavior, disgusting.  Who ever you are grow up and stop your crap.

    There is a passive in the garage but with the load shedding our alarm kept going off. So we did not activate our alarm. That was very stupid I know..

    Was the garage door locked?  How did they get in?
